Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Okay, Niki Glazer publicist, you've earned your money. Hello,
Speaker 1: I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news from The
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter, How Nicki Glazer became the new queen of
Speaker 1: comedy now before we even dive in, who would be
Speaker 1: the queen of comedy right now if not Nicki Glazer?
Speaker 1: So it's not an absurd premise. She crushed at the
Speaker 1: roast of Tom Brady. Who would you throw up there?
Speaker 1: Amy Schumer, Sarah one of the SNL performers, So this
Speaker 1: is not absurd. The subheadline the Tom Brady roast MVP.
Speaker 1: That's true and stand up comedian got the Emmy nod
Speaker 1: for Someday You'll Die, which attracted the largest debut for
Speaker 1: an HBO comedy special in two years. Onto the wax
Speaker 1: Drop from The Hollywood Reporter, Nicki said of her special
Speaker 1: Someday You'll Die, I just kind of knew it was
Speaker 1: going to be nominated for an Emmy. I hate to
Speaker 1: sound crazy, the roast was such a big moment for me,
Speaker 1: and my life changed overnight in terms of recognizability and
Speaker 1: people knowing who I am. As for the timing, she says,
Speaker 1: it wasn't intentional that the roast was going to give
Speaker 1: this special boost. That was never planned. I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: jump in. I can't argue with HBO of they're saying
Speaker 1: it is the most whatever in two years. But I
Speaker 1: didn't feel any buzz on that this week, despite the
Speaker 1: Emmy nod, despite this Hollywood reporter, I haven't heard anybody
Speaker 1: buzzing about that special. They're buzzing about the roast of
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and her appearance on that. Oh yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: as she crushed on various podcasts. Sure, but for the special,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just I didn't see it in the zeitgeist.
Speaker 1: And I do do this every day. According to Glazer,
Speaker 1: she'd been speaking it into existence for months. Nicki says,
Speaker 1: I was really into manifestation in the fall when I
Speaker 1: was putting this all together, I just kept saying, my
Speaker 1: special is going to be nominated, My special that's going
Speaker 1: to win an Emmy. I guess I need to win
Speaker 1: to really make this manifestation happen. The material took me
Speaker 1: a while to get to a place where it was
Speaker 1: working the way I wanted to because of the nature
Speaker 1: of the things I was talking about. It's not like
Speaker 1: I engineered special to fit what I think people need
Speaker 1: to hear. There's some gap in the cultural consciousness. In
Speaker 1: previous specials, Glazer had dipped in here and there with
Speaker 1: jokes about not wanting kids, and reaction to her material
Speaker 1: was like, you're going to change your mind or it's
Speaker 1: early if you make that kind of call. Nicki said,
Speaker 1: I knew I couldn't take myself seriously about it because
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, maybe I will. In the article,
Speaker 1: then talks about her current confidence in comedy. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of Malcolm glad willingness. I'm reaching close to those ten
Speaker 1: thousand hours. What do I really want to say? The
Speaker 1: subject of fertility made it into her stand up material
Speaker 1: because it had become a hot topic on a group
Speaker 1: chat with nine of her best friends, ranging from fellow
Speaker 1: comedians to childhood friends. Glazer says, literally, twenty four hours
Speaker 1: a day, there's someone on it that'll help you through
Speaker 1: your problems. Glazier says, the women take three vacations together
Speaker 1: each year. Do all nine make the vacation. That's hard
Speaker 1: to coordinate. I can't get my entire family in one
Speaker 1: room for dinner. One topic that kept coming up was
Speaker 1: her friends wanting to have children. Nicki says she couldn't relate.
Speaker 1: I'm usually on par with the wants and desires of
Speaker 1: my friends that I've had for my whole life, except here,
Speaker 1: I couldn't fathom why you would want kids, and I
Speaker 1: just felt left out. It's the first time I've ever
Speaker 1: felt like someone who is at Taylor Swift fan must
Speaker 1: feel about Taylor Swift fans. Then we go again and
Speaker 1: see yesterday's podcast what people say to me, I just
Speaker 1: don't get it. We explained it to me. I don't
Speaker 1: not explain it to those people because the feeling I
Speaker 1: have about Taylor Swift is beyond words. Nicky says it
Speaker 1: was hard to have those jokes about not wanting my
Speaker 1: friends to have kids and have my friends see those jokes.
Speaker 1: I wrote the jokes before. I told my friends that
Speaker 1: though jokes are in the special, but they understand and
Speaker 1: says the jokes did not affect anything in regard to
Speaker 1: their friends' pregnancies. And my joke is, you have a
Speaker 1: better purpose than I'll ever have. My purpose now is
Speaker 1: talking to Conan O'Brien about my Libia from Variety. Ellie
Speaker 1: King open up about her tumultuous relationship with her father,
Speaker 1: Rob Schneider. King said of Rob Schneider, I disagree with
Speaker 1: a lot of the things he says. You're talking out
Speaker 1: of your ass and you're talking crap about drag and
Speaker 1: you know, anti gay rights, and it's like get eft.
Speaker 1: King said she was not close to her father growing
Speaker 1: up and didn't connect with Rob Schneider until she was
Speaker 1: much much older, when she had the opportunity to spend
Speaker 1: time with Rob, who was on a movie set where
Speaker 1: she would get lost in the shuffle. If I ever
Speaker 1: messed up a shot, if I was talking, I would
Speaker 1: get an effing trouble. A big source of tension between
Speaker 1: King and Schneider was her appearance. King says, I I
Speaker 1: was like a really really heavy child. My dad sent
Speaker 1: me to fat camp, and then I got in trouble
Speaker 1: one year because I sprained my ankle and didn't lose
Speaker 1: any weight. I had already started getting tattooed and it
Speaker 1: was like one hundred and eight degrees, so I had
Speaker 1: to wear sweaters because my dad was very anti tattoos
Speaker 1: or any form of self expression. She has no plans
Speaker 1: to mend the relationship with Rob Schneider. Saying she does
Speaker 1: not want to be associated with Rob Schneider. He's just
Speaker 1: not nice. You can want someone to change so much.
Speaker 1: You can control anyone else's actions, and you can't control
Speaker 1: people's feelings. All you can control is how you act
Speaker 1: and what you do with your feelings. Changing gears Triumphan,
Speaker 1: the insult comic dog tweets my all new Let's Make
Speaker 1: a Poop Chicago edition is on YouTube dot com slash
Speaker 1: Team Coco with former Governor Rob Lgoyevich, ex cub Ryan Dempster,
Speaker 1: some people from the WGN Morning News and Wiener Circle,
Speaker 1: z Owne, Pooci Jackson, also Marjorie Jokes and let me
Speaker 1: get this one in here before it gets too moldy.
Speaker 1: Vulture wrote hier Matt Berry as a twenty twenty eight
Speaker 1: LA Olympics commentator. Now this made me smile because during
Speaker 1: the pandemic, Vulture once a week would write an article
Speaker 1: suggesting a job for Matt Berry, and I would do
Speaker 1: those stories on Sunday, and it really helps kill off.
Speaker 1: You know, during the pandemic, there was not all that
Speaker 1: much news, and I was doing this seven days a week,
Speaker 1: so test sometimes I had to dig deep, and I
Speaker 1: remember doing that every Sunday and doing at the time
Speaker 1: reasonably half asked Matt Berry impression, I'll see if it
Speaker 1: comes back today. I haven't done it probably since then.
Speaker 1: But Vulture writes finding celebrities won't be a challenge for
Speaker 1: an Olympics happening in la but just having famous people
Speaker 1: around isn't enough. You need to have the right kind
Speaker 1: of famous people in LA is a town easily prone
Speaker 1: to overbooking the wrong kind of famous people. LA is
Speaker 1: inherent bias towards shiny, happy people risk the overrepresentation of
Speaker 1: people like Paris Hilton and Mario Lopez. No, you need
Speaker 1: people who are universally beloved but also interesting to see
Speaker 1: because they have a mysterious, slightly dark presence. A good
Speaker 1: Olympic celebrity mix inclusive choices that make viewers say what why?
Speaker 1: And Matt Berry is that he's a cult icon, will
Speaker 1: take off one shoe to play a scary guitar solo
Speaker 1: and for a celebrity is rarely seen, and he's no
Speaker 1: stranger to big events like this either. He lent his
Speaker 1: voice to the London Olympics closing ceremony in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: Barry recently spoke to The Holly Reporter in which he
Speaker 1: admitted something stellar. Matthew Berry said, I did an edit here.
Speaker 1: I tried to do my Matt Berry. It's gone. I
Speaker 1: can't do it, so I'll do it iss me. Most
Speaker 1: of the names I pronounce in correctly are on purpose.
Speaker 1: It's because I don't know what they are. Especially sports,
Speaker 1: all these ballgames, baseball, softball, I haven't got a clue
Speaker 1: what any of that is. Barry should be included in
Speaker 1: the LA Olympics because he's a symbol of cooperation between
Speaker 1: six different countries. Great Britain, which is three countries, England,
Speaker 1: Scotland and Wales, Canada where you film what we do
Speaker 1: in the Shadows, the United States, where that show's a hit.
Speaker 1: And Estonia, a country he recently enjoyed visiting on vacation. Hey,
Speaker 1: we've got a new show. It's called five Minutes of Gratitude.
Speaker 1: What is it, Johnny mack Well, it's five minutes of gratitude.
Speaker 1: It's in the title. You listen, it's five minutes long,
Speaker 1: and they think about being grateful for things in your life.
Speaker 1: It's good for your mental health, feeling good about yourself.
Speaker 1: Five minutes of gratitude. Where you get your shows. Let's
Speaker 1: see he was at the Columbus Comedy Festival today, a
Speaker 1: lot of shows. Let's see Wow at seven o'clock, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
Speaker 1: nine shows. I would go see Irene two at the
Speaker 1: Key at seven o'clock, Jim Florentine at the Attic at eight,
Speaker 1: and then your ten o'clock shows, Chloe Radcliffe at the Key,
Speaker 1: Alex Falcone at Seapac, Manny mckilvey at the Key, and
Speaker 1: Chad the Bird at Sea Pack. So yeah, let's do
Speaker 1: Irene two and then we'll do Chloe Radcliffe at ten
Speaker 1: and then we don't have to go anywhere. We'd probably
Speaker 1: grab a drink in between. The eight hundred pound Gorilla
Speaker 1: promotes their own special It's Lewis Black's Thanks for Risking
Speaker 1: your Life that's now on YouTube. You may recall on
Speaker 1: March thirteenth, at twenty twenty, the King of Rants knew
Speaker 1: the world around him would never be the same. There
Speaker 1: was a pandemic that you hear about it. Google it.
Speaker 1: It was kind of a big deal. Some people podcasts
Speaker 1: had to do Matt Berry Stories every week, performed just
Speaker 1: days after the country shut down. Lewis Black talks about
Speaker 1: the Corona induced anxiety and his own hilarious frustration over
Speaker 1: the Orange One who must not be named. Black doesn't
Speaker 1: take political sides, whether he he's exposing the widespread systematic
Speaker 1: failure of both parties or pinpoint any micro stupidities within
Speaker 1: pop culture. Rising comedian Matt Matthews announced his Bougie on
Speaker 1: a budget tour fifty two cities. That tour kicks off
Speaker 1: October twenty fifth, Live Nation promoting this one. Known for
Speaker 1: his relatable, situational humor, Matt Matthews discusses a variety of
Speaker 1: topics and personal experiences in his stand up, including his
Speaker 1: daily life of living on a farm, his career is
Speaker 1: a bourgeois photographer, relationships, and more. He will also bring
Speaker 1: his popular Confessions with Matt video series to the live stage,
Speaker 1: where he provides a real time comedic take on audience
Speaker 1: members who voluntarily spill their deepest, darkest secrets. Matt Matthews
Speaker 1: still Deadline. Growing up a broke gay kid from the South,
Speaker 1: I always dreamed of being a performer. But let's be real,
Speaker 1: those big dreams don't typically come true. Thankfully, I decided
Speaker 1: to take the risk and bet on myself as a comedian.
Speaker 1: Never in my life did I imagine that I would
Speaker 1: sign an incredible deal with Live Nation, got that plug in,
Speaker 1: kiss the Ring for a second headlining tour. I couldn't
Speaker 1: do this without the incrediblet of fans, and I'm so excited,
Speaker 1: honored and humbled that so many people believe in me.
Speaker 1: Can't wait to be back on that stage. Bougie on
Speaker 1: a budget is going to be wild, and he spelled
Speaker 1: wild with four d's chort Ole. Spoke to Katy Green.
Speaker 1: She's at the Edinburgh Fringe and she picked her perfect
Speaker 1: playlist of comedy favorites. Okay. First up on the perfect
Speaker 1: playlist of comedy favorites is Girod Carmichael's Love at the Store.
Speaker 1: Grod was the first comedian I first saw live that
Speaker 1: really moved me. I'd never seen a performer be so captivating.
Speaker 1: He was more than funny, he was pensive and deep
Speaker 1: and he handled the crowd so well. Next up Mitch
Speaker 1: Hedberg's Mitch Altogether. Do you see the hed Burg aissan's happening?
Speaker 1: How often are we talking about Mitch Hedburg? All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's happening, she says when I started comedy.
Speaker 1: I didn't know much about stand up, so I used
Speaker 1: to go to the library and check out comedy albums
Speaker 1: on CD. That makes me sound old, but my first
Speaker 1: car only had a CD player. Mitch was always my
Speaker 1: favorite to listen to because he was so talented and
Speaker 1: the jokes were so clever. I also like how he
Speaker 1: addresses that the fact that the album's going to be
Speaker 1: on CD by saying things like this will be track
Speaker 1: five or this won't be good for the CD. It
Speaker 1: makes it so funny. His albums are great to listen
Speaker 1: to while driving. I agree he made the most everyday
Speaker 1: things so funny. I never pass a broken escalator, not
Speaker 1: think of an escalator can never break, It can only
Speaker 1: become stairs. You know what, same thing I owe. Any
Speaker 1: time I see an escalator that is not running, I
Speaker 1: think of Mitch Hebberg. Also, if I'm ever at an
Speaker 1: amusement park, like say Disney, and I see a frozen
Speaker 1: banana stand, do you know the joke? Do you want
Speaker 1: a frozen banana? No? But I might want a regular
Speaker 1: banana later. She likes Christella Alonso's lower classy her bit
Speaker 1: about Selena Kintonia being the closest thing Latinos have to do
Speaker 1: a superhero is so funny because it's so true. I
Speaker 1: lover her stories about growing up and I definitely look
Speaker 1: up to her. Azizin sorry, you know he was cancel
Speaker 1: at one point. Aziz is a Modern Romance. I know
Speaker 1: this is a book, but I do like to read,
Speaker 1: so I'll put it in my playlist. Modern Romance is
Speaker 1: probably my favorite book about dating, and trust me, I've
Speaker 1: read a lot dating advice from Azazin. Sorry, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Move on. And also on her list is Bob's Burgers.
Speaker 1: She says, I love Bob's Burgers. My guilty pleasure is
Speaker 1: watching Bob's Burgers while eating a burger. See now, this
Speaker 1: whole list is fake because listener, especially for you, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna ask you two questions. One, have you ever actually
Speaker 1: seen Bob's Burgers? You haven't. I know you've seen primos,
Speaker 1: and have you've seen T shirts? And have you've seen merch?
Speaker 1: I know you've seen artwork on your streaming app, You've
Speaker 1: never actually seen Bob's Burgers. And more interestingly, have you
Speaker 1: ever met anyone who's seen Bob's Burgers? You haven't. I
Speaker 1: know there's like an icon on Netflix or wherever, but
Speaker 1: you've never clicked it. No one has ever clicked it.
Speaker 1: There's no such show as Bob's Burgers. Allegedly in season
Speaker 1: fifteen or something. Anyway, she says the show is so
Speaker 1: relatable because my family has a restaurant and I worked
Speaker 1: there when I was younger, so it's so funny to
Speaker 1: see the Belcher family dynamic. I just love animated shows
Speaker 1: like Rick and Morty, but Bob's Burgers takes the win.
Speaker 1: And that's your comedy news for today. If you enjoy
Speaker 1: the program, tell a friend about it. They might like
Speaker 1: it too, and I'll see you tomorrow.
